Help! I have extreme nose distortion after my MOHs surgery. The surgical deviation was 7mm wide(2 swipes), plastic surgeon chose a linear closure. My nostril is raised on the side that was repaired is extremely elevated. The surgeon did not come by after surgery. I don’t want to go back to her due to lack of trust. What do I do? How soon can I have it repaired? I am public facing(medical sales) this will 1000% impact my career and self esteem.
